Hi
I have posted previously re this family. It seems that the correct parents of Thomas Crossley bc 1823 Bury are John and Ann. Ann I have on the 41 census, widow bc1796 Whitefield. I have a possible burial for John for 1836, age 36 St Mary Radcliffe. All his children were baptized there. He was married to Ann at St Mary, Bury.The two youngest children were baptized 1838 and 1841 (18 July). Question - does the father have to be alive for his name to go on baptismal records? The July bapt was after the 41 was taken and Ann was a widow!
From the burial I have found a baptism for John 1800 on the lancs pr site, parents James and Sarah, both names of which John used for his own children.
Is it safe to say this is the correct baptism or is this a dead end?
Any thoughts and advice gratefully received.
